(TV?) Ashlee Simpson, Video for Lala. Grade: F
Okay okay before you (all two of you who actually read this page) get on my case for watching this video, let me just explain that I was in New Orleans this past week and the rain and gloom forced me to hole up in my hotel room and watch hours of tv. The result: An even greater hatred for Mtv. I don't have cable, which is okay with me, but just watching Mtv for the past couple days reminds me I'm not missing anything. Also, I was curious to hear the song that Ashlee Simpson got booed for at the Orange Bowl.
A couple notes from watching this video:
1) Four minutes of my life I'll never get back.
2) Her "dance" moves are reminiscent of Elaine Benace or someone having a spasm. In fact, I'm not really even sure she was attempting to dance. Also, she does her weird dance moves in front of a convenience store while holding a soda cup in her hand. Wha?
3) She's singing dreamily and holding a joystick while the rest of her friends are having fun playing Xbox. Does this make any sense?
4) There's a line in the song that goes something like: "You make me want to Lala in the kitchen, on the floor..." After watching the video, I'm pretty sure "lala" means vomit.
(B) Bonjour Tristesse (Francoise Sagan, 1955). Grade: A
A short, bittersweet tale of a young girl's coming of age and how her actions create havoc and devastating results to the people in her life. Simple in nature, it's a story ahead of it's time. It's interesting to note that Sagan wrote this book when she was only 18.

Hehe. It's ok Dorkus. I watched the Ashlee vid too when I was sat up in bed sick with the flu. Yes, her dance moves do resemble Elaine's spasms. Speaking of Seinfeld, I think "lala" is sort of like "yada yada." Hm...
She dances on top of a mini van for crying out loud?! Somebody get her to stop!
motivated by your review i decided to watch the video ... what i took from it: 1. the song has only two verses or less that is repeated for over 3 mins 2. i hate the O.C 3. ashlee simpson is trying too hard to be "punk" and that's just sad.
i was right ... there are like three verses and the song makes NO sense.
You can dress me up in diamonds
You can dress me up in dirt
You can throw me like a line-man
I like it better when it hurts
Oh, I have waited here for you
I have waited
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You can meet me on an aero-plane
Or in the back of the bus
You can throw me like a boomerang
I'll come back and beat you up
Oh, I have waited here for you
Dont, keep me waiting
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
I feel safe with you
I can be myself tonight
It's alright, with you
Cuz you hold, my secrets tight
You do, You do
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
When I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna la la
in the kitchen on the floor
I'll be a french maid
Where I'll meet you at the door
I'm like an alley cat
Drink the milk up, I want more
You make me wanna
You make me wanna scream
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
